Steven Moffat is known for his Doctor Who episodes (which have been much raved about) and his previous BBC series Coupling. Now he has eschewed comedy and science fiction for a dark tale about the evil side of man. A very dark tale.
Jekyll is a six-part series, where James Nesbitt plays the lead character that finds himself in a strange life, part his, part someone else's. Three episodes down, and we are still no closer to answers than when we started, but by gods this is great television!
Steven Moffat definitely knows what the hell he is doing. This is some damn gripping stuff, and excellently acted by the cast as well. Almost makes me want to get Coupling, as if that's half as good as this, that would be great watching too.
Unfortunately there's a break now for Live Earth, but I can hardly wait. Still, this gives another week for you lot to grab the episodes and catch up. It's well worth it.

I have been meaning to check this out - with The Sopranos finished, Lost off until Jan next year and Doctor Who/Torchwood away until next year I need a few new shows to get into. Will definitely be checking this out!
Put it this way: it's worth getting vanilla DVDs, that's how good this series is. (But I hope they come loaded.)
I'll be watching the first episode later this evening :-)
I hope you've got 2 and 3 ready to go afterwards!
